Huddig is expanding into Canada following a partnership with JT Equipment, it’s first Canadian dealer.
Based in Calgary, Alberta, JT Equipment was founded in 2011 and has grown to represent numerous equipment manufacturers, including brands like OilQuick and engcon. Owner’s Josh Arnold and Matt Cox bring decades of experience in heavy machinery and a commitment to providing efficient and cost-effective solutions.
“JT Equip is the right partner for us in Canada,” said Daniel Myrgren, Market and Sales Manager at Huddig AB. “Their industry expertise, innovative mindset and extensive network of contacts are essential as we establish Huddig in the Canadian market. Canada has many similarities to the Scandinavian market, where we are very successful. We are excited to bring the versatility and profitability of Huddig -machines to entrepreneurs in Canada.”
Based in Sweden, Huddig develops and manufactures excavator loaders for the overhead line, railway and construction industries.
“JT Equipment has always been about delivering value-driven solutions to businesses. Unlike conventional backhoes, Huddig machines offer superior power and versatility, providing a significant edge in the industry. We are excited to offer Huddig as part of our growing portfolio, providing innovative, outside-the-box solutions to our clients,” Arnold said.
Since it was founded in 1959, Huddig has made more than 12,000 excavator loaders.
“Adding Huddig to our lineup is the next natural step. It’s about offering solutions that help our clients do more with less,” Cox said. “As costs rise and skilled operators become harder to find, contractors need machines that can handle multiple tasks while reducing overall expenses. A Huddig machine can replace up to three traditional machines, making it a smart investment for any operation.”
JT Equipment’s journey with Huddig started with their background as an OilQuick dealer. Given the proximity of the two companies in Hudiksvall, Sweden, and JT Equipment’s desire to bring a new, innovative product line to the Canadian market, expanding their portfolio with Huddig was a logical move.
“JT Equipment’s commitment to providing valuable, innovative solutions aligns perfectly with Huddig’s philosophy. We are confident in their ability to introduce Huddig machines to the Canadian market,” said Huddig CEO Håkan Bäckström.
